Wigry National Park, National park in Augustów County, Poland
The park extends across 15,086 hectares of land, containing 42 lakes, dense forests, and peat bogs formed during the Baltic Glaciation period.
The establishment of the park in 1989 followed conservation efforts initiated in the 1920s by naturalist Kazimierz Kulwieć and botanist Bolesław Hryniewiecki.
The former monastery within the park boundaries now functions as an artist residency under the Ministry of Culture, fostering creative endeavors in natural settings.
Visitors can explore 190 kilometers of marked trails through the park, with opportunities for hiking, fishing, and sailing on Lakes Wigry, Pierty, and Leszczewek.
The park supports a population of 250 European beavers that inhabit its waters, while fir trees dominate the forest landscape across all wooded areas.
